After The visit to my friend Guil Zerki I get the painting virus back . I remember how important is to change the artistic medium sometimes .
Here are 2 paintings I did in Flensburg after the inspiring guestpot at Reinkarnation Koln .
I use acrylic colors on canvas suport.first one is inspired from internet and is really small ,15/18 cm and the second is a reroduction from the great Basil Gogol . I choose this becose I feel Like into the color moode and also i really love the Dracula caracter from Christopher Lee .
Here are the paintings , I will try to work more in the next time , i need to remember how to handle the brushes and the colors , but I really enjoy this challenge !
I took 2 pictures from Dracula , first one is on the day light and the second one done in the same light I see it during the painting proces , one night .

Back in bussiness !
It is amomst one year since I writte the last blog...I think nobody really mist me from the blog scene , but I want to continue this becose maybe I inspire some people or just explain my ideeas and art directions to my costumers or at last just do some brain storming for myself .
In the last year I travel alot , doing many guestpots and tattoo conventions , spread my ink all over the Europe.
One of the thinghs who change my tattoo direction is redescovering the Chayenne Hawk machine . This machine I buy a few years before , but I don t really like it , but now I think is the perfect tool for a traveling artist.
An other thing who mark my tattoo work is that I do almost only freehand tattoos in thw last time , using not so manny references.
I chose to do this first becose I can :) but also I think that this way I can use the body shape and the space that costumer give to me at maximum potential. Everyone can see tht a flat drawing is change alot when you stencil it on a not flT body area , also a wrong or not perfect stencil is hard to clean and remake , all this things I want to avoyd in my work.
If I am onest .... I must admit that I never know how to do a perfect helpful stencil , I realize that when I see other people doing stencils , in this moment I realize that I put in the stencil just maybe not more than 20% from reference , this means the rest is freehand , so I decide to do all freehand .
I will add some pictures from this last working year. I hope you like them !

Ink storm in Flensburg part 2
During the 3 weeks we spend at Tattoo Fashion Flensburg , me and Ada had some really busy days with a lot of bookings sometime from 10 am to 23 pm or late. It was a real hard ink marathon, we meet some great people and we did some cool tattoos .
Here are some ink stories from Tattoo Fashion Flensburg :
Captain Spaulding was one from the last tattoos I did in Flensburg and one of the first bookings . It was a real honor for me to tattoo Jacob , he is a tattoo artist from Danmark who decided to get my ink . It’s never easy to tattoo another tattoo artist , but I like every chalenge !
An other cool project is this lascive lesby :D . This tattoo I have done to a costumer which came from far away Nord , I think Island . After I finishad the tattoo my good friend Mads advertise it on facebook and in few hours he brake his own record : 300 people like the naked girls , but someone decide to report the photo and my friend’s profile was bloked…..
The Viking saga is a chest piece , sholder and arm I have done to John an ex soldier who fought in Afganistan and Kosovo. I was surprized by the way he could handle the pain of 2 sittings lasting 10 hours .. All the tatto is my freehand interpretation from an other tattoo he found on the internet and for the viking portrait I use just a picture with Hulk Hogan for reference.

My first costumer who showed up with a limo is Jesper Jokeren Dahl ,afamous skandinavian actor and rapp singer. He came from Copenhagen to get a Hunter S Thompson portrait with the writing “ I’m not ON drugs , I’m never OFF”
I have seen the movie “ Fear and loading in Las Vegas” and I liked the part with the bats so I decided to include this in the picture , I put them in the sun glases like a reflection and for the writing I choose some old writing machine font . I was happy Joken was open to all my sugestions and gave me his full trust .One other of my VIP costumers is Linse Kessler decided to come also from Copenhagen to get a tattoo from me. This was part of a Danmark Tv show.
We begin with a special tattoo , a tribute to the place where she and her brother the famous box champion Mikkel Kesslerhave grown up and for future we plan to continue her sleeve tattoo. Here I am with my friend Lars who was the first and also the last costumer at Tattoo Fashion Flensburg , he get 2 half sleeves and chest piece "Good times , Bad times" totaly freehand .At last but not lest is Mads back piece remake .
Mads is the owner from Fashionista Corp (including the Fashion Tattoo Studio chain with 3 studios in Germany and Danmark , Fashionista clothes , limo company , night club and skandinavian biger facebook tattoo group – more than 55.000 members) a full time job !
Meeting Mads and know him was one of the most interesting things in my life as a tattoo artist .We started in some days almost fighting and finishing up with a hug in the end of the day !
In his opinion I am the best artist in the world , haha was fumy when he tell me , first I think he’s kidding me and I feel little embarrass , but when I realize he mean this I feel really honored and comfortable because he treated me like this in all the great time we spent in Flensburg.
